Here we go again, recalls for the so called particulate filter or design cock up. My Renault Master has been recalled today by means of a phone call not a letter. Was told NOT to use the vehicle until the problem is rectified but it isn't dangerous. Thses things have been nothing but trouble since they began fitting them. Six months ago I spent a day in hospital after the particulate filter split on my car causing me to vomit and eventually pass out. The manufacturer stated then they hadn't had a problem. Why do these manufacturers talk so much crap and tell endless lies.
Back to the motorhome. I told Renault that due to my past experience I wasn't prepared to drive the vehicle to them so a collection would have to be arranged. They are to send out a recovery vehicle to transport a vehicle weighing 4.25t and over 7.5 metres long.
I don't see why a customer should be used as a test bed for new gadgets and have all the inconvenience when they go wrong. We suffer enough of this when we buy the vehicles.
My local dealer has stated that they replace endless particulate filters especially on the Fiat/Peugeot/Citroen chassis. The warning light is always flashing which in turn will cost us mugs a lot of money to replace these problem parts.
Will we EVER see an honest dealer/manufacturer or have they all been programmed to deceive and tell lies.
I feel better now, sorry about the moan but this makes my blood boil.
